Dolphin-Safe Tuna Labeling; Official Mark
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: NMFS issues this final rule to designate an official mark that can
be used to label tuna products as being ``dolphin-safe.'' The Dolphin
Protection Consumer Information Act (DPCIA), as amended by the
International Dolphin Conservation Program Act (IDCPA), requires the
Secretary of Commerce to develop an official mark that can be used to label
tuna products as ``dolphin-safe.'' The intent of this rule is to establish
and designate that mark.
DATES: Effective June 29, 2000. ADDRESSES: A full color version of the
official mark is available at the NMFS Southwest Region website at
http://swr.ucsd.edu/dsl.htm or by contacting J. Allison Routt, NMFS,
Southwest Region, Protected Resources Division, 501 W. Ocean Blvd., Suite
4200, Long Beach, CA 90802-4213.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. Allison Routt, NMFS, Southwest Region,
